Best Lunch Restaurants in Saint Augustine Beach

Fantastic experience! Staff was SO welcoming and attentive. Loved the Pear Wine Sangria which was crisp and clean, not overly sweet. Loved the Lobster Bisque, Pear Salad and Rack of Lamb. And the Tres Leche Cake—YUM! We’d like to come back to the rooftop bar which had a very cool vibe. Highly Recommend La Cocina!

We booked a party of 11 for a birthday celebration and they could not have been more accommodating. We spoke with them a few times before arrival and they were so friendly and professional which carried over to our experience at the restaurant. We ordered from both the pre-arrival and the dinner menu and everything was fantastic. The only downside of our experience was it was a colder than average evening which caused the patio roll downs and heaters to be necessary. When we were first seated, the breeze, ok it was wind, was coming through gap in the flaps making one section of our table uncomfortable. They were so accommodating at shifting our table to move it so it was no longer in the wind. We would absolutely dine here again.

My wife and I are new to Saint Augustine and tried this restaurant based on all the great reviews. It did not disappoint. The beef tartare was amazing as were the escargot. I had the Wagyu beef, which was definitely worth the price because the flavor was so fantastic with truffle foie gras butter, oh my God! My wife had the duck which she really loved as well. I don’t think you can miss at this restaurant.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. From the parking lot tenant (Kenny) who made our first experience here incredible, to our waitress (Danica) who answered all of our questions, gave great suggestions and beyond sweet and attentive. The restaurant is gorgeous. The staff was 10/10. The food!! JUST WOW!! This will be a go to when family comes in town for sure!!!! Thank you so much for making our family dinner incredible!

Enjoyed birthday dinner, starting with delicious Montenegro meatballs(great sauce) and tuna tartare(good balance). Perfect whiskey sours. We liked the duck pappardelle and pasta alla vodka as comfort food. Nice chocolate mouse cake for birthday, good crust. Good service from Ashley and beautiful Xmas decorations. Cute hats to take home, fun idea.
